The Jesús Hermida Communication Center features an exhibition that allows us to delve into the concept of communication and journalistic profession in all its aspects (press, radio, and television), with Jesús Hermida, one of the most prominent figures in the profession in Spain, as the guiding thread.
This exhibition area, situated on the ground floor of the building, is the most striking space for visitors. They will have the opportunity to take a journey to not only learn about Jesús Hermida's extensive and successful career but also understand the evolution of the media, especially from the late 19th century to the present day.

The exhibition features a large collection of personal belongings and curiosities of the journalist from Huelva, as well as other objects linked to the history of the media.
